I have just started my first project on double pointed needles.

roadtomanderlay- I am making a pair of the armwarmers you made me. Except a bit shorter.

And, would you believe it, I'm doing well.

I feel so badass.

I need a knitting icon.

The only thing I dislike about them (and I've only made hats on them, mind) is that it gets very annoying when you get to the top of a hat and have very few stitches and tons of wire.

Well done, you!

Hey now, circular needles have wire, double pointed needles do not ;P

Getting started on DPNs is hard, but once you get going, I find it a lot easier than knitting flat, because you never have to turn your work. The hard part is just making sure you don't drop stitches between needles.

Oh my goodness, I think this is the fourth time, I've posted this comment! Sorry, hun! I've had a shit day so far, and I'm a little wired, so I'm not concentrating that well.

One more time:

Circulars scare me.

I find I'm really enjoying DPNs...except, like you say, I'm really paranoid about dropping stitches between needles. Cos I suck at picking up stiches.

Aw, btw, this is Ravelry. A beautiful abyss for knitters. My username is spanishtechno, if you decide to join up and need friends. ;P My page is kinda boring cos I don't have my photos up, but that will happen soon enough.

Also, I posted some pics of a baby blanket I knitted in the post before this, if you wanted to take a squiz.

Oh wow, I had no idea. I have not used these yet. Now I'm even more impressed with Erin :)
